HVAC pros and savvy DIYers, listen up! This little device can save you from a huge, watery mess. It's the Rectorseal AquaGuard Magnetic Float Switch, and its job is to prevent your AC unit's condensate drain pan from overflowing.
Here's how it works: You install it directly onto your secondary (emergency) drain pan. If the primary drain clogs and water starts filling the backup pan, a float inside this switch rises. When it hits about 3/4 of an inch high, the magnetic switch is triggered and can shut off your AC unit to stop making more water, preventing leaks and costly water damage.
Installation is a breeze – seriously, less than 10 seconds. It has a magnetic base, so you just stick it onto a metal pan (no drilling!). It even comes with a protective cover to keep insulation and debris from jamming the float. Wiring is included, and it's rated for 5 Amps at 24 Volts AC.
RectorSeal is a trusted brand for tradesmen in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. This is a simple, reliable safety device that gives you peace of mind. Don't wait for a leak to ruin a ceiling – add this inexpensive protection to your system.
